I woul dmost definitly agree with this assesment but... I have always prefered to use 10Base2 to a crossover cable on UTP I like the coaxial cable setup because it is very easy to extend when you decide that 2 computers is not enough and a hub is too expensive (of course i have found I can get 2 nice combo cards and a 5 port hub for around $70) food for thought...and.... MUCH faster than a serial port connection... -Steve
